If they nominate Romney again 90% of the conservatives should stay home! Talk about the definition of insanity with the GOPE, they have tried the same liberal/moderate crap since 1992 and it worked twice, barely, by the skin of their teeth both times and what do the do, same song, same verse, same musicians, same clothes, same consultants, same tactics, same everything and the result is same Loss on election day.

Romney as the candidate will not get my vote. I was also stunned the other day to hear Hannity say he would hold his nose and vote for Thad Cochran. No way could a person like Thad, after what he did to win, get my vote ever again.

Yet Rick Santorum is really the next in line, but honestly the best qualified is Ted Cruz. Either one they hate. So they trot out rinos to test run them. Jeb one day, Christie the next, then Rubio and finally now another run by Slick Mitt.

Santorum is not next in line.

Santorum was booted from the Senate by 17.4% in 2006 and was supporting Arlen Specter in 2010, until he switched parties.

Now that Obama is securely in place for another four years and political advocates have settled down on both sides, we can look at the presidential bid Mitt Romney tried for in more historical terms, or at least try to. Now, Romney’s son, Tagg, has spoken up, stating his famous father never really wanted to run for President—at least not in 2012.

After Romney’s run in 2008 was unsuccessful, The Boston Globe is reporting the man with the perfectly coiffed hair was reluctant to run, again. It was Tagg and his mother, Ann Romney, who eventually convinced the man to give high-level politics another shot.

“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life. He had no desire to . . . run. If he could have found someone else to take his place . . . he would have been ecstatic to step aside.”

Tagg also spoke out about his father’s unwavering faith, as well as his commitment to his family, and how the race became even more marred for the man after Mike Murphy—the guy who ran Romney’s bid for governor in Massachusetts—declined to join the 2012 campaign.

You may not like Santorum and have a preference for another candidate, but Santorum was the last person with a chance in 2012. Going by the rino logic then he is next in line.

The writer, Lincoln Mitchell, writes for the Huffington Post. His bio there:

Lincoln Mitchell has over a decade of experience working in political development. In addition to serving as Chief of Party for the National Democratic Institute (NDI) in Georgia from 2002-2004, Lincoln has worked on democracy and governance related issues in the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Lincoln also was on the faculty of Columbia University's School of International Affairs from 2006-2013 and worked for years as a political consultant in New York City advising and managing domestic political campaigns.

I'm certain he does NOT have the best interests of Republicans in mind when he wrote this trash.

Good find! Indeed, Mittens is the Demonrats' favorite Republican.

Then Huckabee who was the “last person with a chance” in 2008 would have been next in line for 2012.

This “next in line” stuff is not as real as some pretend, that is why the veep from 2008 was never the next in line.

Santorum was driven from office in a history making loss, worse than the famous Christine O’Donnell loss, coming out ahead in the musical chairs “anybody but Romney” primary of 2012 doesn’t elevate him into presidential levels.

If he ultimately decides not to run, a few weeks of generally positive media coverage and a brief return to the almost national spotlight will have done him no harm

and Gee, why would coverage in the lefty media of him possibly running for 2016 be POSITIVE?? Such a tough question, not.

The problem is the GOPe candidates period.

The real problem is there are too many voters on welfare of one type or another. Conservatives that stay at home don’t help any either

Vet, as far as I'm concerned, Romney threads are good for the discussion. Coming down on fellow FReepers for posting articles pushing Romney is counterproductive. The conversation needs to happen -- discussion here is heartening because the vast majority REJECT Romney and the message is loud and clear: Romney is symptomatic of what ails the Republican party.

I welcome Romney threads because it gets the message out that the majority of conservatives REJECT him.
